Lincoln’s position on slavery was purely political and self serving. He didn’t believe in rights or equality for black Americans or even in their humanity.

I usually agree with you but I really thought it was one of the most important things for people to see with Trump. To refuse to acknowledge the indisputable legacy of John Lewis because he didn’t go to the inauguration made clear the narcissistic, childlike pettiness. That’s such a disgusting human quality that it’s…

Trump reduce black unemployment by 1.8 -2% that is bullshit. His policies has zero to do with it because it was trending down under Obama..

There’s no doubt Lewis’s family decided who would speak at his funeral, and it’s possible Lewis himself gave his input before he passed on. If they were ok with GWB speaking at the service (for a fraction of the time President Obama spoke), I’m ok with it too.

Yup, I thought “there goes The Lincoln Project’s next ad.”

Sorry that was Obama’s doing. The unemployment rate of 3.5% was super low but that was due to Obama/past administration. The unemployment rate stopped dropping and started increasing under Trump AND the black unemployment rate during that same 3.5% time period was 7%, so no he did jack fucking shit.  

That is a difficult question to answer because the statement is bullshit. We know it, He knows it, his surrogates know it, everydamnedbody knows it.

[John Lewis] didn’t attend George W. Bush’s 2001 inauguration either

I live near DC. The DC area wasn’t full of cutthroat political killers as recently as GHWBush. I was at a play in December 1992 when the President and Mrs. Bush attended, and as they entered, everyone rose and clapped. I wasn’t a fan; I never voted for Reagan, didn’t vote for Bush, didn’t think he was a good…

Trump: “Right now, I think it’s under control. I’ll tell you what —”

It isn’t like Lewis was attending all of the president’s inaugurations during his time in Congress, he didn’t attend George W. Bush’s 2001 inauguration either.

Goldblum to tRump:

I seriously have NO CLUE why conservatives and rednecks worship this guy. He has the thinnest skin of any human I can think of and he CONSTANTLY bitches and whines. Like what is up with that?

Trump thinks? That’s news to me.

Since we’re talking about the Axios interview, my favourite part is Trump rambling about the “new phenomena” called mail-in voting, and Swan points out that it dates back to the Civil War.

Here’s my favorite quote, regarding COVID deaths:

The transcripts are always more horrific than the audio.

And there was this gem of an exchange when Swan challenged tRump’s assertion that he’s done more for the Blacks than any other president:

There is zero overlap in the Venn Diagram of ‘people who respect John Lewis’ and ‘people who care what Trump thinks.’

I watched the entire interview of AXIOS on HBO, man this is just come of the crazy shit he said. To DATE Johnathan has been the ONLY interviewer to make him look like a fucking moron. My jaw dropped when he said this, but it wasn’t surprising. Johnathan did something no other interviewer ever did, he asked “who said…
